Malaysia’s dominant ethic group is Malay, which is defined by the constitution as someone who “professes the religion of Islam, habitually speaks the Malay language, and conforms to Malay custom.” It is this group that the constitution favors. (Incidentally, it is illegal to convert out of Islam in Malaysia.)

The indigenous locals, Chinese, and Indians are all minorities.

Not the OP, but my advice is to tailor your advice / sharing of experiences to what your mentee(s) need. Always start by listening before sharing your experiences, and for each experience, distill the key learning so you can help your mentee see how they can apply it to their situation.

Where I come from our green lights blink five times before the light goes to yellow, then red. I've found that it's much more useful than having just a yellow light to estimate when I should accelerate at a light and when I should stop.
